Solubility product constant $(K_{sp})$ of salts of types $MX$,$MX_2$ and $M_3X$ at temperature '$T$' are $4.0 \times 10^{-8}$,$3.2 \times 10^{-14}$ and $2.7 \times 10^{-15}$,respectively. Solubilities $(\text{mol } dm^{-3})$ of the salts at temperature '$T$' are in the order:

  • A
    $MX > MX_2 > M_3X$
  • B
    $M_3X > MX_2 > MX$
  • C
    $MX_2 > M_3X > MX$
  • D
    $MX > M_3X > MX_2$
